By default in Tally.ERP 9, there are 18 different pre-defined Voucher types (where Payroll feature is enabled, the number of pre-defined voucher types will be 20). Voucher type pertains to Accounting, Inventory and Payroll. These are used for recording various transactions according to the user needs.

Examples include Cash Payment Vouchers and Bank Payment vouchers where the relevant predefined voucher is Payment Voucher. You may have two or more sets of Sales Vouchers for different kinds of sales transactions e.g. Credit Sales, Cash Sales, etc.

If a voucher type is created, you can:

Have the different Voucher numbering methods.

Give own prefix and suffix details for the voucher numbering.

Use the Effective Dates for the vouchers.

By default, make some vouchers optional if required.

Decide to have the Common Narration or Narration for each entry.

Automate the printing immediately after saving the vouchers.

Get separate reports for each type of voucher.

3.3.1. Accounting Vouchers

Tally.ERP is Pre-programmed with a variety of accounting vouchers, each designed to perform a specific job. The standard vouchers are :

Contra Voucher

Payment Voucher

Receipt Voucher

Journal Voucher

Sales Invoice

Tally.ERP 9 has a set of short cut keys for accessing vouchers easily.

3.3.1.1. Contra Voucher (F4)

As per accounting rules , contra entry is a transaction indicating transfer of funds from..

Cash Account to Bank Account

Bank Account to Cash Account

One Bank Account to another Bank Account

The following Vouchers can be done through the Contra Vouchers :
(a) Cash Deposited into Bank
(b) Cash Withdrawal from the Bank
(c) Funds Transfer from One Bank to another Bank
(d) Cash Transfer to Petty Cash

When goods / services are sold, a voucher needs to be created, which the customer (debtor) can use as proof of purchase made. This document is called an “invoice” . Tally.ERP has facility to generate invoices according to the business requirements.

The Voucher Type creation screen is divided into three sections depending on various settings.

• General
• Printing
• Voucher Class

Generalpe of Voucher

The type of voucher should be any one of the predefined voucher types (already listed). The new voucher type would inherit the properties of this predefined voucher type. It would function exactly like the predefined voucher.Abbr (Abbrevia

An abbreviation is required particularly for unformatted reports, which do not use compressing techniques. (Tally.ERP 9 allows printing of both formatted and unformatted reports). Even if the Abbreviation is not specified, Tally.ERP 9 automatically sets a default name for the Voucher. In this example, Sale is the abbreviation. Though there is no restriction on the length of the abbreviation, it should preferably consist of five characters or less.

Method of Voucher Numbering

This is, perhaps, one reason for your opting for a new voucher type. There are three methods available:

Automatic

This method is flexible. If Automatic method is selected, then Tally.ERP 9 numbers the vouchers automatically.

Manual

This method allows you to number the vouchers manually. It does not check for the sequence of the numbers and permits you to specify anything that you wish in the voucher number field. However, you may choose to prevent entry of duplicate numbers. If you would like to do so, then set Prevent Duplicates to Yes.
